Wanted: Document Management System with OCR (alien.top)

I have an unRAID server with a bunch of dockers on, and yet I'm still scanning and filing my documents in an SMB share like a goon!

What options are out there for me? I'm after something that has the following features:

- Scan to email functionality for ingest as well as manual ingest from another digital file share

- OCR

- Tagging

I'm honestly not sure what else

Suggestions?

Paperless-NGX is the way to go.

Bonus points if you’re on iPhone because QuickScan recently added Paperless-NGX support so you can quickly scan and upload documents without a hassle.

anything on android?

There is "paperless share", which adds paperless to the share options when you click on the share button of something

there are multiple apps on the app store named QuickScan - what one is it? i'd like to try it out

The app icon is green and it’s by iSolid Apps.

Here’s the direct link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ocr-scanner-quickscan/id1513790291

Honestly this is such a cool app cause it’ll also OCR documents for you if you’d like and none of the features are behind a paywall. Hidden gem in the modern age of everything being a subscription.
